It seems that the Kurds want to formally agree to be part of Iraq while in practice running their own show. They might bribe the other factions to accept this by sharing revenue from oil and gas. This would maybe keep turkey from attacking as they have refrained from declaring an independent Kurdistan.
However the fly in the ointment is the PKK, if they could be persuaded by bribery and coercion to let up on Turkey well and good but if they continue to use the border as a safe haven while attacking turkey, then in the end Turkey would be compelled to retaliate with invasion.
